The New York Jets have reportedly showed a lot of interest in upgrading at cornerback this offseason.

According to Ralph Vacchiano of SNY, the team is considering big deals for Byron Jones and James Bradberry, with an apparent edge toward Bradberry. Chris Harris Jr. is also reportedly an option for the Jets.

Current Jets cornerback Trumaine Johnson is also expected to be released as soon as a new CBA is ratified. Per Vacchiano, New York wants to split the $12 million in dead cap space that will come from his release across two seasons, something that isn't allowed in the final year of a CBA.
